All files now retain Markers & Regions in Trimmer

Right Alt+z and Shift+Right Alt+z now properly give users of the Polish localized version ż and Ż

Vegas Pro 15 (build #216) - Update 1

New features

It is now possible to "heal" or "join" two events that hold the same media back into a single event

From the Render As dialog box, you can now swap all of your project media video files for video files with the same names (but potentially different file extensions) enabling you (for example) to work with proxy files on your timeline and switch to the full-resolution files to render. After the render completes, the files are swapped back.

A new option in the Project Media window enables you to swap all of your project media video files for video files with the same names (but potentially different file extensions) at any time

The Picture-in-Picture and Crop plug-ins now show different mouse icons depending upon which handle you point to in the Video Preview interacts

Added a button to events that enables the user to hide/show the new event headers

You can now set a preference to reverse the color of selected events so that it matches the behavior in version 14 and earlier where none selected events are white and selected events are colored

4K, 10-bit 4:2:2 AVC files from the Panasonic GH5 camera are now supported

Bug fixes

Interlaced presets now function properly in the QSV encode option for files rendered with the MAGIX AVC/AAC plug-in

Picture-in-Picture help button now opens the proper help

VEGAS now automatically switches to the correct version of ACES based on the project settings when opening an existing project

Saved projects now properly retain media markers and regions for MP4 files even if the project is closed and reopened

The fade-in offset in the event header is now properly available for crossfades

The user can now select from the list of attributes of a copied timeline clip event to specify which attributes will be pasted into a target event

ACES 1.0 support enable users to work with the expanded color spaces and dynamic range of modern cameras.

More efficient handling of AVC files on the timeline through Intel QSV technology

Picture-in-picture OFX plug-in enables the user to perform size and position adjustments of video at any of the four effects levels (including track and event) through parameter adjustment controls and direct interaction with the Video Preview window

Crop OFX plug-in enables the user to quickly crop out portions of a video at any of the four effects levels (including track and event) through parameter adjustment controls and direct interaction with the Video Preview window

The user can specify which track header buttons and controls appear on tracks and set these (separate for audio and video tracks) as project defaults for all new tracks in the current and new projects. Controls that have been hidden can be accessed through a new "hamburger button" menu

LUT Filter OFX plug-in enables the user to apply LUTs to their project at any of the four supported FX levels (event, track, media, and video bus)

Redesigned timeline clip events now contain headers to hold important information and buttons and can be customized through the hamburger button/menu system.

The user can specify which controls appear in the transport area of both the Trimmer Window and the Video Preview window as project defaults for the current and new projects. Controls that have been hidden can be accessed through a new "hamburger button" menu

New layout option enables user to switch back to the VEGAS Pro 14 default layout, including revealing all buttons in the hamburger menu system

Updated button glyph for the Record and Arm for Record buttons clarifies the function of these buttons

The default Pan type has been changed to Constant Power which is the most logical and expected type
